Happy times at Links House! It’s been just over a year since we lost Spot and we said we’d never get another dog. Spot may have been a small dog but he left a big hole. But time is a great healer and we really do love dogs so we found ourselves increasingly looking at dogs […]

I know that I have users that are still using Windows XP. They are clinging onto it because Vista had such bad rap. I must confess I have tried Windows 8 on my laptop and hated it. Hated it with a passion, so much that I uninstalled it and went back to Windows 7. I […]

Our wind turbine was installed yesterday so we were in a bit of turmoil with installation engineers in and out, but certainly worth it.

I’ve just finished a Lynda.com course on digital painting and in the closing presentation the tutor mentioned other useful/interesting resources. Amongs other one was the Google Art Project. The Google Art Project is part of Google’s mission to […]
